Honestly, I don't know what that means.

As far as I am concern, the real problem here is that Calemere is not a
dependable platform.

I've looks at over a 100 installations already, probably a lot more, 
and the damn thing just fails to work without seeming reason ... like 
all the time.  And it is not an Artix controlled program.

A base install does just that... fwiw.  I have had no trouble with
installing DMs with pacman.

Even with OpenSUSE and YAST, you get a serious of choices, 4 of them the
last I looked of full on gnone, fullon kde, limited X graphics or
terminal.

And even with Yast, you just into real trouble with creating custom
partions.  I rarely see it work well with Calemeres.  WHen I am in a
rush I will just mount the disks off the live disk and create the
partitions with cfdisk and the appopriate mkfs and then reboot and let
the system identify the partition scheme and cross my fingers and hope
it takes.

That requires a little planning before you install.  

I stil have a knoplix disk somewhere.
